Cute Garden Stone Craft Ideas

have been out in my garden a lot this summer, and ended up buying one of those big sacks of stones to make a path. I had a fair amount left over, so I decided to think about crafting ideas using little garden rocks.

You’ve probably noticed that recently I have been fixated on fast and easy crafts that you can do in a matter of minutes, like these popsicle stick ideas or these candle holder crafts.

That’s because while I love big, complex, and involved projects, I know a lot of new crafters are just looking for something quick and easy to get started. Plus, plenty of folks are busy juggling tons of responsibilities throughout the day, and you sometimes only get a few minutes to sit down and be creative.

Picture Frame

Get a wooden picture frame.

Glue small garden gravel rocks around the edges along with shells, twine, pearls, and other embellishments.

Picture Display

Get three larger, rounded river stones and glue them together.

Wrap a pipe cleaner around them.

Glue on any embellishments you like.

Add a small clip at the top and use it to hold a photograph.

Bottle

Grab a small glass bottle and insert rocks, pearls, and/or shells inside.

Insert a piece of bamboo or whatever other embellishments you want.

Use twine to attach a tag which you can personalize.

Close it with the cork.

Candle

Put a bunch of small gravel chips inside a glass votive candle holder along with some pearls.

Tie twine around the outside along with a starfish or other embellishments.

Put a votive candle inside.

What is awesome about these ideas is that they all use the same basic supplies (for the most part). So if you can make one project, you probably also have the materials you need to make the rest. Have fun!
